"Harmonica proves to accompany the wild presence of Gypsy Carns, "Now I'm Alive." Faith-based, the message has an otherworldy presence. Drums kick it out, for the piece has an intrinsic beauty."

"Track #2 by Gypsy Carns, "Now I'm Alive," immediately reminds me of George Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone,' but the chorus, thankfully, diverges. With ample harmonica and a voice worn from life, singing, and perhaps copious liquor, "Now I'm Alive" is a tried and true Blues testimonial."
